This abandoned psychiatric hospital is famed to be one of the most haunted places in the land of Kimchi and K-pop. It was a fully functioning asylum until 1995 when patients started dying mysteriously and the government eventually ordered the facility to shut down. Investigations were made but there were no actual reasons given for the deaths that occurred. Some believe that the owner tortured and held the patients prisoners, which led to it closing down after investigations. However, the actual reasons were related to economic and sanitation issues of the hospital.

Since its closure, the building, together with the hospital beds, equipment and fixtures, have been neglected, as though everyone left it in a hurry. Its ash grey walls, shattered windows and layers of rust will send a chill down your spine if you ever walk through its corridors. Claims of apparitions and disembodied voices have been brought up over the years, not surprising coming from an abandoned building that was once filled with psychiatric patients. The hospital ground is closed to the public now and tourists are not encouraged to visit. However, thousands of people break into the building every year for the sake of thrill and adventure.
